Hello Alain,  

I rapidly went through your documentation. 

If your UTF-8 and UTF-16 decoders are conformant, your module, on output, doesn't generate Unicode code points, but Unicode scalar values (code points minus the UTF-16 surrogates [1]). If that is the case it would be nice to state this invariant explicitely in the documentation.

This allows to directly pass the data generated by sedlex to modules like Uunf without further checks as those values belong to the Uunf.uchar type [2].

Best,

Daniel
